Most of Europes leaders are hated by their less silent majorities. Canadah will be making deals with despots. Who knows if the EU will even exist in five years. The times they are a changing.
Canada continues to be a Commonwealth Country. Nothing's changed except the propaganda from Buckingham Palace.

Every pissant country in the world has a lower GDP than America. And Per Capita income.
I'm honestly not worried about trade pacts between Canada and the EU. Their economies amount to almost nothing in global trade terms.
I'm not sure of This source but it indicates that our poorest people are better off than the rest of the world. Even developed countries.
If EU invites Canada to join, that would be a good time to pull out of NATO.
